Topics include an overview of systems biology, database development and visualization tools, uncovering complex protein interactions, identifying large scale networks of interactions and how these efforts are being used to understand complex human biology and response to pathogens. Salon E Saturday, November 3, 2007 Noon - 5 p.m. Recent implementation of donor screening for Trypanosoma cruzi infection by the American Red Cross and other blood banks across the United States highlights the urgent need for clinicians, laboratorians and public health professionals to understand Chagas disease, its diagnosis and treatment. In the United States, it is estimated that more than 100,000 immigrants have Chagas disease and most are unaware of their infection. This intensive course provides a comprehensive review of the disease for tropical disease experts, cardiologists, obstetricians, blood bankers and others. It covers the epidemiology of infection in Latin America, where 10-12 million persons are infected, and the situation outside of Latin America, such as in the United States, where in addition to infected immigrants, cases of Chagas disease have been transmitted by local vectors, by blood transfusion, by organ transplantation, congenitally and by laboratory accident. 8:30 a.m. COFFEE AND LIGHT CONTINENTAL BREAKFAST 9 a.m. INTRODUCTION - COURSE GOALS AND OUTLINE Daniel J.

Hancock University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC, Canada The course focuses on the diagnosis and management of acute, chronic and congenital infections; cardiac and gastrointestinal complications; and considerations for special populations such as immunocompromised persons or pregnant mothers. In addition, there will be updates on the status of control programs in endemic countries, implementation of blood donor screening in the Unites States, scientific developments in diagnosis and treatment and the experience of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Drug Service, which is the sole source of anti-parasitic drug for Chagas disease in the United States. A series of case histories will illustrate the approach to the person with subclinical infection and other syndromes.

However, there are currently no safe and effective antimalarials specifically formulated for this vulnerable population that are registered to a stringent international standard and recommended by WHO. To address this critical gap, an innovative formulation of the effective fixed-dose formulation of the ACT, artemether/lumefantrine, has been developed. This proved a surprisingly challenging task. Not only did the new formulation have to be as safe and effective as the current tablet formulation, it also had to meet stringent requirements deemed essential for widespread use including palatability, stability and critically, affordability. This symposium will focus on the clinical aspects of the dispersible tablet development program.

The speakers will discuss topics ranging from population genetic approaches to natural selection, expression arrays and RNAi methodologies to look at hostparasite interactions. The symposium will highlight examples of genomic approaches that can be applied to the question of host-parasite interactions in a variety of parasitic diseases. Monday, November 5, 2007 8 a.m. - 9:45 a.m. The symposium will focus on the use of computer-based information and decision support systems as new tools to facilitate: 1) operational vector and disease surveillance and control activities; and 2) transfer of evidence-based information from the scientific community to the parties de facto responsible for vector and disease control. The symposium aims to 1) generate a discussion of the problems and possibilities related to information and decision support system approaches to facilitate control of vector-borne diseases; and 2) synergize the formation of an international working group charged with harmonization of existing decision support systems for vector-borne diseases and exploration of the potential for combination systems capable of supporting surveillance and control of multiple vector-borne diseases.

Blazes1 Although the Special Programme for Tropical Diseases Research from the World Health Organization (TDR/WHO) was created in 1975, it is quite clear that direct benefits for the affected population have not been as much as the products of health research. In one hand this led to change the terminology for research for health used by TDR/WHO the present year, 207, but the main problem remains to be solved. On the other hand The Global Forum for Health Research (GFH) in its “10/90 Report” pointed out the injustice of spending 90% of all medical research funding on diseases that cause 10% of the global burden of disease, which means that less than 10% of financial resources are invested to solve neglected diseases affecting the poor people living in developing countries. In this symposium we review some of the most relevant ethical dilemmas faced by the stakeholders participating in research for health in developing countries. 1 Naval Medical Research Center Detachment, Lima, Peru, 2Centro Medico Naval, Lima, Peru 9:15 a.m. 20 PREDICTORS OF NON-TYPHOIDAL SALMONELLA BACTEREMIA IN FEBRILE CHILDREN PRESENTING AT HOSPITAL IN A PLASMODIUM FALCIPARUM HOLOENDEMIC AREA OF WESTERN KENYA CHAIR Tom Were1, Gregory Davenport2, Oscar Odunga1, Collins Ouma1, Richard Otieno1, Yamo Ouma1, John Vulule3, Alloys Orago4, Michael Otieno4, Gordon Awandare2, Stephen Obaro2, John Michael Ong’echa1, Douglas Perkins2 Fernando J.

The main emphasis of the program is to advance the understanding of fundamental disease mechanisms and how these processes are substantially influenced by events at the vector-pathogen and vector-host interface. Four important emerging pathogens and four different acarid vector systems will serve as platforms for conveying general principles and specific disease-related information: Ehrlichia spp., including Ehrlichia chaffeensis (Amblyomma tick-transmitted), Anaplasma phagocytophilum (Ixodes tick-transmitted), Francisella tularensis (Dermacentor spp. transmitted) and Orientia tsutsugamushi (Leptotrombidium spp. chigger transmitted). Monday, November 5, 2007 10:15 a.m. - Noon This symposium will review and update the progress of the malaria genetic diversity both from the perspective of the parasite and the human host. Lessons from the human genome Haplotype Mapping (HapMap) Project will be discussed as a model for how population genetic approaches can be used to associate genetic mutations with disease. A review and discussion of the extent of genetic diversity in the human malaria P. falciparum will be presented, as well how this information can be utilized to understand the biology and pathogenesis of these organisms. Finally, applications of these findings on investigations of human infection with P. falciparum will be discussed. It is the goal of this symposium to explore how population genetic approaches can reveal mechanisms of malaria disease and pathogenesis. CHAIR J.

As these new drugs have only been carefully trialed in controlled settings in less than a few thousands patients for each drug, only an effective surveillance system will be able to pick up rare and serious adverse events. ACTs are currently not recommended for pregnant women in their first trimester, what are the data in embryo toxicity and what are their implications? How can a pregnancy exposure registry assist in monitoring the safety of ACTs? The session will also look at what types of surveillance systems are in place to monitor drug safety and which types of additional systems could be considered that are appropriate and feasible in developing countries.

Although the life-cycle was accurately described nearly 100 years ago, the relative importance to human disease of the different parts of the life-cycle are not known, e.g. the concentration and infection status of different parasite stages and the number and infection status of non-human mammalian hosts. Ongoing ecological field studies in China and the Philippines have been designed to obtain quantitative and genetic evidence with which to reduce these uncertainties. The following are examples of specific questions likely to be addressed during the symposium: How much human infection would be averted by the widespread use of an effective bovine vaccine in the different countries? Do strains of S. japonicum preferentially infect different mammalian hosts? Can data on topology and rainfall be used to predict local between village infection dynamics? CHAIR Hector H.

In addition to genomics, there are exciting areas of functional genomics that are being targeted by the filarial research community. These include microarrays, RNA interference, transgenesis and the study of the Wolbachia endosymbiont. Such new avenues of research will enable the identification of new drug targets and vaccine candidates that may prove useful in the Global Programme to Eliminate Lymphatic Filariasis. 47 ANIMAL IMMUNOGENICITY STUDIES OF A BLOOD-STAGE MALARIA VACCINE BASED ON A COMBINATION OF AMA1 AND MSP142 Laura B.

As the extent of research in the developing world has increased, therefore, the question of what is owed to the participants in medical trials, both during and after the trials, has become particularly pressing. Various organizations, including the Council for 1 Stanford University, Stanford, CA, United States, 2University of California Berkeley, Berkeley, CA, United States, 3University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI, United States 60 ASTMH 56th Annual Meeting www.astmh.org Arthropods/Entomology - Other International Organizations of Medical Sciences (CIOMS), have issued guidelines about researchers’ obligations. But the best test of the usefulness of such documents is how well they meet the requirements of morality when actually applied. Consequently, this symposium will provide a critical examination of some key ethics guidelines by looking at their application to cases. We will draw on the experience of government-sponsored researchers and public-private partnerships who are working on major health problems of communities in the developing world, such as Malaria and HIV/AIDS. 57 THE INSIGHTS OF MANAGING INSECTICIDE RESISTANCE IN MALARIA VECTORS WITH THE PLANT EXTRACTS IN TROPICAL AFRICA Eliningaya J.

Over 99 million people have chronic conditions such as diabetes, hypertension and heart disease. Many of these people will be traveling for business and/or pleasure and need to adapt to time zones, different diets and physical activities. The baby boomers are also getting older and traveling in great numbers. The speakers will discuss strategies to prepare the traveler with one or more chronic conditions.

With this expansion, career opportunities in global health are growing commensurately. Many of these career opportunities offer a challenging mix of science, epidemiology and program development opportunities, based both in the United States and internationally. Many of these career pathways are in organizations and settings that have not been a focus of ASTMH members or constituencies, yet would naturally value the perspectives and competencies of many students and trainees affiliated with the Society. This session will bring together representative leaders and spokespersons who have had varied careers in global health to speak review their perspectives on career opportunities and share ideas on preparation and entry into these pathways. The moderators will summarize the key points and action steps, to enhance the society support for global health careers.

Vinetz Monday, November 5, 2007 1:30 p.m. - 3:15 p.m. University of California at San Diego, La Jolla, CA, United States In many parts of the tropics, there is no adequate laboratory service. Whilst syndromic treatment algorithms have proven successful in some contexts, lack of a confirmed diagnosis can result in unnecessary treatment, resulting in drug wastage and the encouragement of resistance on the one hand and delayed discovery of the correct diagnosis on the other. Technological advances now give the opportunity to achieve a precise diagnosis of a variety of conditions in the field. This symposium will highlight these advances and their potential impact in the tropics. 12:55 p.m. THE REVIEW: EDITORIAL, CORRESPONDING AUTHOR AND REVIEWER PERSPECTIVES James Kazura Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, OH, United States 1 p.m. CHAIR THE REVIEW: EDITORIAL, CORRESPONDING AUTHOR AND REVIEWER PERSPECTIVES Peter L.

Several African countries are partnering with global organizations (notably the World Bank Global Strategy and Booster Program; the Global Fund for AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria; the U.S. President’s Malaria Initiative; and the MACEPA program at PATH) to develop the methods and document the results of national scale-up for impact efforts. This intensified commitment to national-scale malaria control constitutes a multi-country, evidence-based demonstration of the feasibility and benefits of comprehensive malaria control programming. This symposium will examine African countries’ preparedness for scale-up, the approaches being deployed, the results from two representative countries and the key challenges to sustaining and expanding global support of malaria control scale-up in Africa. Harvard School of Public Health, Boston, MA, United States Symposium 40 Novel Approaches to Designing Mosquito Repellents Salon KL Monday, November 5, 2007 1:30 p.m. - 3:15 p.m. Humans and many other organisms have long sought products to keep arthropods, including mosquitoes, from biting. Although incompletely effective, significant resources are spent on mosquito repellents even in developing countries where income is limited. Efforts to identify the odorant genes and receptors that enable mosquitoes to seek out their preferred hosts have been accelerated by the availability of complete genomic sequence data for the mosquito vectors of malaria and dengue. Speakers will consider rational approaches for designing new repellents and assessing their effectiveness based on the recent advances. CHAIR Carlos (Kent) C.

Recent studies have focused on epidemiologic patterns of disease transmission in hyperendemic areas of Latin America. Studies on differences in immune responses to juvenile stages have shown species differences between F. hepatica and F. gigantica, suggesting differential approaches to vaccines. Vaccine approaches with new vaccine formulations show promise to both decrease disease and transmission in experimental models. Finally, a molecular approach to study the relationships between lymnaeid vectors and human fascioliasis focusing on the Americas will be presented.

The aim of the symposium is to demonstrate how molecular biologists, parasitologists, biophysicists, medicinal chemists and pharmacists work together to seek to accomplish such goals. It will indicate that modern genomics, combinatorial chemistry and high throughput screening have revolutionized the process. At the same time, it will show how, despite such advances, projects are time-consuming, costly and highly speculative. Ray R.

Signals and Signaling in Malaria: Insights from the Burroughs Wellcome Fund New Initiatives in Malaria Awardees Salon AB Supported with funding from The Burroughs Wellcome Fund Tuesday, November 6, 2007 8 a.m. - 9:45 a.m. Salon CD Artemether/lumefantrine is the first fixed-dose artemisinin combination therapy which was approved by stringent regulatory authorities as early as 1999. Since 2001 over 130 million treatment courses were supplied to the public sector of malaria endemic developing countries. Twenty-eight countries have adopted artemether/lumefantrine as first-line treatment. There is mounting evidence of significant morbidity and mortality reduction when this ACT is included in malaria control programmes. Encouraging successes from several African nations are reported and provide proof that rolling back malaria and saving lives is an achievable goal.

While substantive improvements in health have occured as a result of the Declaration, many areas of the world are still struggling to achieve basic, sustainable health care. This symposium will argue that, in some circumstances, “Health for All” can be best achieved through community-based secondary health care. Following introductory comments by the chair, speakers will first describe how a small NGO (Saludesa) in rural Ecuador, over time, brought together diverse partners in a community of 70,000 to create a new health center and a 15-bed hospital that delivers quality secondard health care while serving as a base for expanded, more effective primary care services. Having gradually achieved full cost-recovery and strong support from a range of stakeholders, the current challenge, in partnership with the Ecuadorian MOH, is to determine the degree to which this model can be replicated within the public sector. With the 30th anniversary of the Alma Ata Proclamation of “Health for All by 2000” approaching, the final speaker will explore the challenges of translating into the public sector “lessons learned” by an entrepreneurial small NGO and the potential of secondary health care strategies in finally achieving the vision of Alma Ata.

The gastrointestinal tract is in constant contact with food proteins, commensal bacteria and potentially pathogenic microorganisms. In order to maintain immune homeostasis in this environment, the intestinal immune system has evolved multiple regulatory strategies, including various populations of regulatory T cells and specialized subset of dendritic cells or macrophages. Orally ingested parasites are primarily exposed to this unique immunological system and benefit from it in order to favor their survival and transmission. Therefore, in the design of new therapeutic strategies or vaccines, it is necessary to consider the endogenous regulatory mechanisms that are operating in the gut. This session will highlight new studies that are extending our understanding of how immunity and inflammation are regulated following exposure to gastrointestinal parasites. Tuesday, November 6, 2007 8 a.m. - 9:45 a.m. A vigorous debate is currently going on about the best way to provide large-scale vector control in Sub-Saharan Africa. Unfortunately, little of this has been based on solid standardized evidence. This symposium presents a substantial new body of data on costs and operational implications of largescale vector control interventions using (1) Insecticide-Treated Nets (ITNs) or (2) Indoor Residual Spraying (IRS). Case studies will also provide cost-effectiveness (CE) estimates. The aim of the session will be to critically review these standardized findings and to discuss their implications for the planning of national-scale vector control programmes in sub-Saharan Africa.

This was part of a broad effort to develop the basis for sustained schistosomiasis control and evidence for policy decisions at the national and international level. This symposium will share the results of some of the funded projects. The presentations will address the issue of anemia due to schistosomiasis in school-aged African children, the benefits of iron supplementation in helminth control programs, evaluation of urine based diagnosis of S. mansoni, and assessment of the cost effectiveness of a national schistosomiasis control program.

Watts Salon F Symposium 71 University of Texas Medical Branch, Galveston, TX, United States Tuesday, November 6, 2007 10:15 a.m. - 12:45 p.m. Vertebrates and invertebrates have developed sophisticated methods to recognize and defend themselves from a variety of pathogens. These aspects of defense, often referred to as innate immunity, operate at both the cellular and organismal levels. Many pathogens, notably the RNA viruses, have developed countermeasures to overcome the host or host cell response to infection. This symposium will provide some of the more recent findings regarding the mechanisms/strategies identified during infections of vertebrate or invertebrate hosts and that play a major role in the outcome of infection.

Although there are now three effective chemoprophylactic strategies for prevention, rates of malaria in returned travelers have not decreased in non-endemic countries such as Canada and the United States. Travelers continue to underutilize all preventive strategies, including insect repellents and insecticide treatment of nets and clothing. This symposium will review evidenced based strategies for malaria prevention in travelers.

Completed genome sequences of these medically important vectors will foster development of novel technologies to control these devastating diseases. Furthermore, phlebotomine sand fly research has served as a key model for studies concerning vector/parasite/host interactions by revealing novel mechanisms defining vector competence, propelling the field of vaccine research into promising areas and identifying novel therapeutics for human use. Although sand fly research has been somewhat delayed in exploiting the burgeoning field of genomics as compared to other human disease vectors, recent ongoing efforts greatly accelerated the field of sand fly genomics. This symposium will provide an update of the genetic tools that are available to the field of sand fly biology, and an overview of the progress that has been made in applying these tools to biological questions.

Falciparum Malaria: From Molecular Analysis to Clinical Impact Salon AB Tuesday, November 6, 2007 5 p.m. - 6:45 p.m. In malaria endemic areas, people are often infected and re-infected with malaria several times during a transmission season. Re-infection and parasite recrudescence is a critical area of concern for healthcare workers, clinicians and malaria research scientists. How do we best use genotyping to distinguish recrudescent from new infections when evaluating the clinical efficacy of antimalarials? Can knowing the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of drugs give us insights into profiling drugs that will best counter more clinical episodes? Correctly identifying the dynamics between re-infection and recrudescence, and methods to stop them, can have a major public health impact.

CHAIR Mary M. Stevenson McGill University Health Centre, Montreal, QC, Canada Tuesday, November 6, 2007 5 p.m. - 6:45 p.m. Artemisinin Combination Therapy (ACT) deployment today is primarily through the public sector, whose reach is limited in many countries. Measures are urgently needed to ensure that patients promptly receive the new medicines for malaria. Speakers will discuss the gaps in ACT availability, lessons learned through early deployment in Zambia and present initiatives to widen the reach of ACTs, for example through the private sector in Uganda. The final speaker will address issues related to managing the opportunities and challenges that will arise in the next two years, with the emergence of new antimalarials from the drug development process.

The first of these topics will be on mentoring, where three-four senior faculty who have mentored many students and postdoctoral fellows will each provide 15 minutes of “mentoring pearls” from their own experiences. One or more of these faculty members will have experience mentoring clinicians in parasitology. After the panel members share their insights, there will be an open discussion to answer questions from the audience and explore thematic topics raised in the presentations. This session will be generally directed at senior postdoctoral fellows, clinical fellows and junior faculty who are transitioning to leadership roles that involve mentoring students and trainees in parasitology. A light dinner will be served. Tuesday, November 6, 2007 5 p.m. - 6:45 p.m. ASTMH members are often vexed by the inability to bring basic science and proven interventions to affected populations. Japanese Encephalitis is an example of an emerging and a marginalized disease. It is also one of the few tropical diseases for which there is an effective intervention (vaccines). However, bringing JE vaccines from the lab to the field has been unnecessarily slow for a number of reasons that include but are not limited to medical/scientific debate. This symposium presents key issues from scientific, medical and policy debates that address the role and function of JE policy committees, how committees construct issues, evaluate evidence and how these issues were addressed among various constituents to get the SA 1414-2 vaccine in use in South Asia.

Chair Rick L. Tarleton University of Georgia, Athens, GA, United States PRODUCER Ricardo Preve Ricardo Preve Films LLC, Buenos Aires, Argentina Recent analyses of large data sets across a variety of diseases indicate that targeted disease prevention is more effective than uniform application across an affected population. In this symposium, we will discuss for malaria and dengue the impact of heterogeneities on transmission dynamics and improved disease prevention when control is appropriately targeted. Symposium participants are engaged in longitudinal field studies that capture person/location-specific data necessary to identify heterogeneity in pathogen transmission for the purposes of disease prevention, developing the theory and analytical methods necessary for effective identification of key components of variation and developing the most effective applications of targeted disease prevention strategies. Speakers will summarize these data and discuss the relevance of targeting as a way of improving public health interventions through integrated disease control, including future field studies that combine vector control, drugs and vaccines.

When Chinese research Project 523 was launched in 1967 to find new drugs for chloroquine-resistant malaria, its scientists drew on Chinese traditional medicine and Ge Hong’s work to isolate artemisinin (early 1970s). Speakers in this symposium will relate the history of Project 523, its discovery of artemisinin and many other antimalarials, and some subsequent clinical trials and malaria control projects with artemisinin-based combination therapies.

Recent trends indicate rapid emergence of drug-resistant and more virulent strains of the parasites to further intensify the problem. Continuous emergence of drug resistance not only necessitates a high pace of new drug discovery, but also warrants building up of an armamentarium of the drugs with proven clinical efficacy against the current drug-resistant cases of these parasitic infections. Efficacy models are integral parts of new drug discovery, which help in identification of new leads and selection of the compounds for development. Recently, significant advances have been made in assay technologies for in vitro and in vivo antiparasitic efficacy evaluation. These advances may be useful in evaluation of large compound libraries and high throughput screening. This symposium would discuss recent developments in technologies and applications of efficacy models in new antiparasitic drug discovery. CHAIR Babu L.

However, unlike the situation for infants, there is no easy means of distribution of antimalarials to children beyond the age at which vaccinations are given. In this symposium, studies will be reported which have explored different approaches to the delivery of intermittent preventive antimalarial treatment (IPT) to older chidlren. In Senegal and in Ghana, community volunteers have been employed to administer IPT and the advantages and disadvantages of this apporach are explored. In The Gambia, a randomized trial has been undertaken which compared delivery of IPT by village health workers with delivery by vaccination teams. In Uganda, a randomized trial has been conducted of delivery of IPT at schools. The symposium will conclude with a discussion of the next steps needed to evaluate IPT in children as a potentially valuable malaria control tool. CHAIR Brian M.

Since 1999 there has been an epidemic of counterfeit oral artesunate in southeast Asia and most other antimalarials in use have been reported as counterfeit or substandard. This has resulted in deaths, loss of confidence in vital drugs and health systems and false reports of clinical resistance. Substandard and counterfeit drugs containing subtherapeutic amounts of active ingredients are potentially important drivers of antimalarial drug resistance. There is increasing concern that fake artemisinin derivatives will become a major problem in Africa, reducing the beneficial public health impact of these crucial medicines. New methods for the rapid, inexpensive detection of poor quality antimalarials, as well as sophisticated, non-invasive, innovative methods for the identifying the ingredients of fakes and their forensic fingerprints, will also be presented.

With few exceptions, however, data from studies previously undertaken to determine the etiology of these illnesses suffer from some notable deficiencies. The shortcomings of available data include lack of a censused population to permit disease incidence to be calculated, lack of follow-up to detect sequelae (adverse clinical consequences), lack of appreciation of distinct presentations (non-bloody diarrhea, profuse watery diarrhea, dysentery and persistent diarrhea) and lack of detection or comprehensive analysis of new and emerging pathogens. Also, few studies measure the financial cost of a child’s diarrheal illness to the family and to the health care system to derive a comprehensive picture of the burden of disease; economic cost is particularly neglected. But the most remarkable deficiency is the paucity of systematic studies in the countries that bear the highest childhood mortality rates, most of which reside in sub-Saharan Africa. Accordingly, to fill these knowledge gaps and generate critical information to allow establishment of priorities for disease control, including but not limited to enteric vaccine development, design of vaccines for broad coverage, formulation of effective public health policy and appropriate focus of emerging interventions, the Center for Vaccine Development of the University of Maryland School of Medicine, with funding from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, has initiated with a consortium of partners a multi-site (Bangladesh, Gambia, India, Kenya, Mali, Mozambique, Pakistan) study of the etiology, burden and sequelae of diarrheal diseases from eight highly affected, heterogeneous, geographic and epidemiologic settings.

National Institutes of Health Grants: Grantsmanship, Review and Funding Opportunities Salon G Wednesday, November 7, 2007 12:15 p.m. - 1:15 p.m. This symposium will bring together experts in the field of video and animation production for biological sciences and real life documentaries. In a new era of visual resources for learning and publishing, scientists are not aware of ways of illustrating, animating or videomaking. Major scientific journals, institutes of research and universities are using visual means of propagating knowledge. But there are scarce federal funding resources available to do these kinds of productions, despite the needs. In this symposium we will get an idea of where and how to find resources to create our own videos and how to best use them for educational purposes. Also, how public TV has created major open source materials for science educators and how much more it could be done to synchronize science research and society will be examined. Finally, the session will explore how Geographic Information System (GIS) is implemented in science and highlight two examples of media production: animation and documentaries to the service science.

In order to ensure that these programs are effective, it is essential to consider the ways that sociocultural, economic and other structural risks interact with biological factors to make women particularly vulnerable to both the physiological and social burdens of malaria. In order to illustrate the implications of gendered aspects of malaria for the development and implementation of effective malaria control strategies, the speakers in this symposium will draw on case studies from Africa which highlight factors that constrain women’s abilities to adopt recommended malaria prevention and treatment behaviors. CHAIR Amy E. Patterson Emory University, Atlanta, GA, United States 1:30 p.m. RURAL VULNERABILITIES AND ACCESS TO EFFECTIVE MALARIA TREATMENT: CASE STUDIES FROM KILOMBERO DISTRICT, TANZANIA Brigit Obrist Foreign-born residents comprise 11% of the U.S. population, and when combined with their U.S.-born spouses and children, comprise an increasing proportion of U.S. international travelers as they return to visit friends and relatives (VFR). The majority of diseases, such as malaria, measles and typhoid are imported into the U.S. by travelers although they are easily prevented, deaths continue to occur. Identification of the barriers to effective prevention is needed, as well as new strategies to reach both the VFR population and the health care providers who care for them both before and after travel.

This milestone triggered an extensive program of Phase 2 studies aimed at confirming and extending the demonstration of efficacy to younger children and infants, evaluation of a new formulation of the vaccine, evaluation of various immunization schedules and assessment of immunological compatability with co-administered standard EPI antigens. The program will set the stage for conducting a large multicenter Phase 3 study in Africa, scheduled to begin in the first half of 2008. This symposium will summarize the critical results available from the Phase 2 program, present the design and scientific rationale for the pivotal Phase 3 study and describe the multiple and interdependent activities necessary to ensure the timely availablity of the vaccine following the completion of the Phase 3 study.

Initiated in several countries in 2000, GPELF rapidly expanded to reach more than 380 million people in 2005. This is easily the largest global health intervention initiated to date based on mass drug administration. A number of countries have completed 5 or more rounds of MDA, and GPELF is now facing difficult decisions on targets and endpoints for MDA programs. This symposium will address these timely questions from several different perspectives.

The Special Programme for Research and Training in Tropical Diseases (WHO/TDR) and the Multilateral Initiative on Malaria (MIM) support several research programmes on malaria vectors. In Africa, there is increasing use of insecticide-treated bed nets, application of indoor residual spraying and an imminent re-introduction of dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) for vector control. The importance of Anopheles funestus in malaria transmission across Africa is also receiving increasing recognition. Results from research across several disciplines being conducted by groups across Africa will be presented. The results are highly relevant for integrated vector management in the Africa and in some cases, already informing the vector management strategy. The implications for malaria transmission and prevention will be discussed.
